Between January and March 2020, nine student designers worked directly with the technical and business leads of ten BC companies to explore and develop a new methodology for connecting design to Internet startups. Student designers considered existing design gaps, perform user interface/usability studies, and develop design strategies for the companies in residence.
Realized with support from Digital Technology Supercluster and Innovate BC, Design for Startups is a project of the Shumka Centre for Creative Entrepreneurship.
